A neighbor of mine is a legal Resident Alien of many years standing. Not being a citizen or a Democrat, he is not registered to vote and therefore has no declared party affiliation. Neither, he tells me, does he subscribe to any political publications and he has no record of campaign contributions. Yet several times a month he gets Romney direct mail shots asking for money.

Somewhere recently I saw a posting by a prominent show-business Democrat (Norman Lear?) complaining he is getting these things too.

What is happened is obvious: Romney’s poorly supervised Direct Mail campaign consultants are busily burning through as much money as possible, which maximizes their fees.
